Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Aspermont where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
