Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Annapolis where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
