Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hogeland, MT.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hogeland where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, 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 many years, due to the fact that coming 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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