Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Montello, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Montello where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal 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 detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
