Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Duck Creek Village, UT.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Duck Creek Village where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
