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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Raymond where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
