Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Springville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
