Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Livingston, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Livingston where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because 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 which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
