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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Williston where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming 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 so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
