Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hinckley where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
