Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Land O Lakes, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Land O Lakes where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
