Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Random Lake, WI.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Random Lake where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to 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. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
