Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Trilla, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Trilla where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
