Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Candia, NH.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Candia where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
