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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Woodford where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
