Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cromwell, CT.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Cromwell where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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