Methadone withdrawal symptoms can be severe and uncomfortable and the most severe of any drug. Though used as a substitution therapy to treat opiate addiction, Methadone itself can be very addicting and require a very specialized detox. It is a medication available for patients suffering from opioid addiction and pain management. The powerful narcotic also has a high potential for misuse and abuse. Many patients who seek opiate detox are prescribed Methadone which is long-lasting and helps to block withdrawal symptoms from other opiates. Methadone maintenance causes adaptation to within the body called tolerance. This tolerance can require many dosage increases to prevent withdrawal symptoms. A minimal amount of patients are actually successful in overcoming methadone withdrawal symptoms on their own; they usually need an inpatient detoxification center.
The Waismann Method’s renowned methadone rapid detox program does not use opiate substitute drugs to treat addiction and can get you drug-free in a matter of days. Physical dependence on Methadone is present if withdrawal symptoms set in once use stopped or decreased.
