Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - North Clarendon, VT.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near North Clarendon where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
