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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Riverview where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
