Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Worcester, VT.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Worcester 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 individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of 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 which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
