Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Mc Naughton, WI.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mc Naughton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
