Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Grand Chenier, LA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grand Chenier where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
