Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Kemp, OK.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Kemp where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
