Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Indian Rocks Beach, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Indian Rocks Beach where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last for weeks. And 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
