Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fairwater, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fairwater where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
