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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Pearce where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
