Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mc Bain where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
