Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Northford, CT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Northford where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
