Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bronson, KS.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Bronson where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
