Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Georgetown where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
