Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Vernon, FL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Vernon where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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 remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
