Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Glentana, MT.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Glentana where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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