Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Montello, NV.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Montello where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
