Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cashion, AZ.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cashion where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment 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 and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because 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 stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
