Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tewksbury, MA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tewksbury where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
