Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mossy Head, FL.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mossy Head where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
