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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Stoddard where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay 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. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
