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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dalton where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering coming 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
