Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hebron Estates, KY.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hebron Estates where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
