Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Brooklyn where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
