Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Kansas City, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Kansas City where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
