Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Montverde, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Montverde where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may 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 professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
