Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Beloit where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering 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 quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
