Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Enosburg Falls, VT.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Enosburg Falls where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
