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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lequire where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing 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 really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
