Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Weskan, KS.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Weskan where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain 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. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
