Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Cedar Bluff where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
