Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Woodston where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
