Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mango, FL.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Mango where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
