Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lacombe, LA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lacombe where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
