Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hoxie where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
