Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near West Haven where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
