Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Storrs Mansfield, CT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Storrs Mansfield where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
