Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cape Coral, FL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cape Coral where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
