Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - The Lakes, NV.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near The Lakes where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
