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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Jennings where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to 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 considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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