Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Soldiers Grove, WI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Soldiers Grove where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
