Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Attica where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. 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 remain in the body for so long, users may 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 are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
