Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Cactus where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
