Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Harrisville, NH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Harrisville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last so long. And since 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 stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
