Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Nehawka, NE.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Nehawka where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
