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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Oakdale where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
