Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Randolph Center, VT.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Randolph Center where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.
