Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Acme, LA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Acme where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, 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, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
