Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Delafield, WI.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Delafield where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened 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 withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
