Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Green Park, MO.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Green Park where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
