Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Sterling, NE.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sterling where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering 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 quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
