Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Waterford where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to 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 stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
