Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wittmann, AZ.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wittmann where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
