Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Jean, NV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jean where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
