Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Kingston where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. 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 are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
