Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Templeton, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Templeton where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
