Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fowler, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Fowler where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
