Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Tiskilwa, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tiskilwa where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
