Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Farmerville, LA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Farmerville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
