Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Colby, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Colby where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
