Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Highland Park where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
