Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Junction City, KS.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Junction City where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since 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 may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
