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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Peru where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes 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. Additionally, 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. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
