Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Haigler, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Haigler where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
