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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Centerville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it 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's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
