Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Montreal, WI.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Montreal where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, 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 if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
