Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Indianapolis where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
