Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Coyle, OK.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Coyle where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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