Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Orogrande where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
