Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lake Panasoffkee, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Lake Panasoffkee where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
