Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Misenheimer where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain 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's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time.

Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
