Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Evanston where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
