Methadone is a regulated drug used in 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 clinic in or near Ossineke where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
