Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Wellfleet, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wellfleet where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
