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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Dodge where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
