Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Albion, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Albion where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain 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 resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
