Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Kalamazoo where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
