Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Woodstock Valley, CT.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Woodstock Valley where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering 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 for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
