Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Key Biscayne, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Key Biscayne where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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