Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - South Glastonbury, CT.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near South Glastonbury where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
