Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Richmond Hill where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
