Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Harrah where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
