Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Round Rock, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Round Rock where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
