Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Brant where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay 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 is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
