Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cocoa where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
