Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Omaha, GA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Omaha where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, 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 if they quit 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
