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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Deshler where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin 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 severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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