Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Nickerson, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Nickerson where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
