Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Winside, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Winside where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
