Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Williamston where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
