Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Kankakee where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
