Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Treasure Island, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Treasure Island where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
