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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Groton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may 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 detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
