Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tonopah, AZ.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Tonopah where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering 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 quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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