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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Concord where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may 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 are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
