Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Jim Falls, WI.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Jim Falls where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
