Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Roberts, WI.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Roberts where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start 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 can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
