Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Rowley where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
