Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Roeland Park, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Roeland Park where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
