Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Coyote Springs, NV.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Coyote Springs where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing 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 fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
