Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lacon where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. 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 for weeks. And since 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
