Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fairbury, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Fairbury where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long.
