Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Clarks, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Clarks where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
