An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Middle Amana where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will 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 really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
