Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Wilton, NH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wilton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
