Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ballouville, CT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Ballouville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can 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 professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
