Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near West Lebanon where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
