Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mc Dermitt, NV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mc Dermitt where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
