Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tonganoxie where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
