Methadone is a drug 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 clinic in or near Preston Hollow where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
