Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wildwood where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
