Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Fort Worth where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
