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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bladen where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, 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 and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
