An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Grandy where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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.
