Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Flinthill, MO.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Flinthill where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
