Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cameron, AZ.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Cameron where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, 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 stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
