Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North Canton, CT.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near North Canton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
