Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Durham where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
