Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jonesville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
