Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Anselmo, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Anselmo where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
