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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ontario where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
