Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Horton, KS.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Horton where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing 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 severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
