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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Milltown where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming 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 because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
