Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Cragsmoor where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
