Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mc Louth where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
