Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Piqua, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Piqua where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
