Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Jersey City where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because coming 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
