Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Groveton, NH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Groveton where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
