Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Danville, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Danville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
