Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mascotte, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mascotte where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
