Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Greenland, NH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Greenland 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 maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
