Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Barton City where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
