Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Grand Isle, LA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grand Isle where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
