Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Minden, NE.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Minden where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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