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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Osceola where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
