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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Talmage where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
