Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Stephenville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
