Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - North Las Vegas, NV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near North Las Vegas where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
