Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bird City, KS.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bird City where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
