Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - East Corinth, VT.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near East Corinth where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
