Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Huntsville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
