Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Melbeta where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
