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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Newtown where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
