Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Eudora, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Eudora where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
