Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wellington, NV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Wellington where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and 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 detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
