Methadone Detox
It is said that coming off methadone is 4 times harder than coming off heroin. Withdrawal symptoms can last up to 6 months and most people revert due to the pain and discomfort that can go on for quite a long time. It is not entirely known why this is, but it is known that this drug stays in the body for a very long time. Therefore it is highly recommended to consider doing a medically supervised detox to avoid or at least mitigate the following withdrawal symptoms:
-insomnia
-cramping of stomach/bowels
-diarrhea/constipation
-shakes
-profuse sweating
-fever/chills
-bone pain
-headache
-nausea
-trouble swallowing
-weakness and dehydration
Talk to the counsellors at addicted.org who can recommend a safe detox facility to help you or your loved one to get through the methadone withdrawal symptoms safely and reasonably comfortably.
It is always better to seek a holistic methadone detox to avoid a continuation of addiction to some other drugs – once through drug detox program it is always the best to be completely drug free so one can do a rehab program free of any ongoing addiction.
