Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dania, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Dania where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
