Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fort Pierce where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay 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 is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
