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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Howard where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
