Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Java, SD.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Java where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
