Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Callaway, NE.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Callaway where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
