Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wayne, NE.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wayne where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes 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 such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
