Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Opolis, KS.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Opolis where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
