Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Perry Park, KY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Perry Park where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
