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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Luck where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since 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 quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
