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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Munden where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
