Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Olive Hill, KY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Olive Hill where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering 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 like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
