Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Beaumont, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Beaumont where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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