Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Dixon, NE.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dixon where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
