Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Husser, LA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Husser where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming 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 for weeks. Additionally, because 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. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
