  2. METHADONE CLINICS Methadone has a long history of use in the treatment of opioid dependence in adults and it is administered orally – it means that is used to treat individuals who have become addicted to heroin, fentanyl, or prescription opiate pain pills such as Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, Morphine, Oxymorphine, Codeine, Percocet, or Vicodin. Methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid agonist that can mitigate or prevent opioid withdrawal symptoms and meaningfully reduce cravings for opiates in individuals addicted to the substance. Methadone treatment is widely accepted as effective for opiate use disorder and most states in America license opioid treatment programs utilizing methadone. Over the years, it has helped millions of people stay sober and live a healthy life. Methadone, taken daily, is available in liquid, powder and diskette forms. The Symptoms of Methadone Withdrawal Usually, methadone withdrawal has similar symptoms to that of opiates such as morphine, fentanyl, opioid pain pills or heroin, but they are somewhat less intense. TIMELINE FOR METHADONE WITHDRAWAL The onset of withdrawal symptoms depends on the dose of methadone an individual is consuming. They can present themselves within 24 hours of the last dose. If methadone use is stopped, the first 7-10 days can be extremely painful with physical and psychological symptoms. Visit us : Methadone detox

  3. METHADONE CLINICS • Long-Term Methadone  • Methadone is a full opioid agonist and it metabolized slowly. Methadone poses a greater risk of overdose than buprenorphine. Methadone is abused by consuming or injecting higher than prescribed quantities, snorting it or smoking it. In 2010, abuse of methadone caused 65,945 Emergency Room visits. However, due to established controls, the methadone dispensed for substance use disorders was not the source of this diversion. It came from methadone that was dispensed for use as a pain reliever.
