Methadone Detox Near Boston

Methadone is a prescription drug given to most people for the management of heroin or other opioid addiction. It is an opiate and therefore carries the high risk of itself becoming addictive. It is common for a person who uses Methadone to become addicted. Methadone addiction increases the risk of dangerous side effects and death. Methadone slows down breathing long after the painkiller effect wears off. If breathing becomes too slow and weak, a person can die.

The best chance for an individual who wants to stop using Methadone is for them to enter a detox program; stopping on your own can result in severe and damaging withdrawal symptoms. Millbury Sunrise Detox offers supervised medical attention that will assist in the successful detox from Methadone.

 

Symptoms of Methadone Addiction

When a person becomes dependent on Methadone, the signs and symptoms are similar to those of other opiates like morphine and heroin, but Methadone stays in the body longer, making the symptoms of Methadone use even more dangerous.

A person addicted to Methadone who is in need of detox can expect to feel depression, anxiety, fever, chills, stomach problems, hallucinations, high blood pressure, paranoia, cravings, nausea, and a host of other symptoms. If you are experiencing these symptoms related to the use of Methadone, it is essential you discuss treatment and detox from Methadone with a medical professional right away.

 

Treatment for Methadone Addiction

In most cases, the only solution to end Methadone addiction requires a stay in a detox and rehab center. After completing a full Methadone detox, the next step to recover fully from this damaging and dangerous addiction is to enter a detox or rehab program. The most common Methadone addiction treatments after detox are inpatient care, followed by outpatient care. Inpatient care is recommended for people who have a moderate to severe Methadone addiction. In many cases, an inpatient medical detox and rehab is followed by an outpatient treatment that helps maintain and continue a Methadone-free existence.
