Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ajo, AZ.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Ajo where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
