Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Haven where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
