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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Edmund where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
