Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tyler where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit 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, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
