Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wauchula, FL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wauchula where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme 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 detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
