Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Table Rock, NE.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Table Rock where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
