Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Declo where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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, extreme insomnia, etc.
