Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Omaha, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Omaha where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
