Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Forest Dale, VT.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Forest Dale where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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