Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bucyrus, MO.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bucyrus where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
