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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Jewell where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
