Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Libory, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near St. Libory where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, 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 that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
