Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Beeler where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
