Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Manchester where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
