Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Alburgh, VT.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Alburgh where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
