Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lone Elm, KS.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Lone Elm where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
