Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cabot, VT.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cabot where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay 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 are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
