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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hancock where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body 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 such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may 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 that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
