Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ozawkie, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ozawkie where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
