Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cade, LA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cade where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
