Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Elmdale where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
