Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Camargo, OK.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Camargo where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And 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 severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
