Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Sun Valley, AZ.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Sun Valley where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
