Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Englewood, KS.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Englewood where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
