Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Center Hill, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Center Hill where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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