Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fort Lauderdale where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
