Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Yoder, KS.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Yoder where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
