Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gilbert, LA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Gilbert where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
