Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Isle Of Springs, ME.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Isle Of Springs where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
