Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Medford where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
