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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Oconto where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of 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 may 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
