Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pleasant Prairie, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pleasant Prairie where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
