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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ashby where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
