Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tamaroa, IL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tamaroa where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
