Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mission Woods, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mission Woods where they take 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 treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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