Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Orange Park, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Orange Park where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
