Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Butler, WI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Butler where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
