Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cornish, UT.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cornish where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
