Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kathleen, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Kathleen where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
