Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Beaver, UT.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Beaver where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
