Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Doctors Inlet, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Doctors Inlet where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
