Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Moffett, OK.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Moffett where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
