Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Wausau, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wausau where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
