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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Ojibwa where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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