Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Henniker, NH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Henniker where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because 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 remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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