Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Hordville, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hordville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
