Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Rudolph, WI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Rudolph where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since 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 really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
