Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ormond Beach, FL.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ormond Beach where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that 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's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
