Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Murray, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Murray where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering 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's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
