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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Thurston where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start 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 really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
