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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wells where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, 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 methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
