Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Vallonia, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Vallonia where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
