Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Jacksonville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
