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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Frazer where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing 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 remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain 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 similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
