Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Seneca, WI.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Seneca where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since 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 if 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, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
