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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Greeley where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of 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 may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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