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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Byron where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
