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

Methadone is a medication 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 started on a methadone clinic in or near Brokaw where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
