Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cadet, MO.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cadet where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
