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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Yankeetown where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain 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, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
