Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brookfield, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Brookfield where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
