Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Newport News where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 severe flu which can 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 which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
