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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Denmark where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
