Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wilder, VT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wilder where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may 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 accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
