Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Huntington where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
