Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bozrah, CT.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bozrah where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
