Rhode Island Methadone Detoxification Programs

Within the state of Rhode Island and in its different counties, are some methadone detox facilities set up to help men and women who are looking forward to come off of methadone. Methadone is used to help opiate addicts get off of the drugs they are taking, but many methadone users end up staying on methadone for long periods of time and have trouble coming off of it. Methadone can cause severe physical addiction and will cause users to experience different physical and mental problems. A methadone detox center will help a client through the withdrawal process, and will help them through the withdrawal symptoms using different methods to alleviate the pain and discomfort. Located in the state are many different drug and alcohol rehab programs associated with these methadone detox centers.

Methadone detox will help a person get off of the drug, but it is important that the patient admits themselves into some form of drug and alcohol rehab program where they can handle the remaining issues of their addiction. Most methadone users do remain off of other drugs, but some do end up mixing other drugs with methadone, and that can be very dangerous as some combinations can be dangerous.
