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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Morse where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
