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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Pioneer where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. 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, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
