Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Coleman, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Coleman where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
