Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bearcreek, MT.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bearcreek where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering 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 is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
