Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mina, NV.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Mina where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
