Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Clyman, WI.

Methadone is a drug used in 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 Clyman where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
