Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Indian Harbour Beach, FL.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Indian Harbour Beach where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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