Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Craftsbury, VT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Craftsbury where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
