Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near La Crosse where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
