Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Grosvenor Dale, CT.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Grosvenor Dale where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
