An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lamoille where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.

Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
