Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Burbank, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Burbank where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
