Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Fiatt, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Fiatt where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
