Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Suffield, CT.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Suffield where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
