The methadone addiction treatment programs at Lakeview Health are designed to help ease methadone withdrawal symptoms and help you recover from addiction with the specific treatment you need.

Methadone is physically addictive, so to suddenly discontinue its use could create other health problems such as seizure, heart attack or stroke. Painful methadone withdrawal symptoms are also often associated with discontinuation of the drug. Methadone withdrawal symptoms include, but are not limited to:

Sneezing
Yawning
Runny eyes
Runny nose
Excessive perspiration
Fever
Dilated pupils
Abdominal cramps
Nausea
Body aches
Tremors
Irritability
Muscle spasms
Back ache
Severe diarrhea
Bone pain

Most people report that methadone withdrawal symptoms are even more painful than those associated with addiction to heroin or other opiates.
