Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - North Haverhill, NH.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near North Haverhill where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay 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. 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
