Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Jetmore, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Jetmore where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will 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 really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
