Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sedan, KS.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sedan where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
