Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Herman, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Herman where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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. And because methadone can remain 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. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
