Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Babcock, WI.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Babcock where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
