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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wilmot where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
