Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Milford where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since 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 stop 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 muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
