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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Clyde where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
