Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Greenville, UT.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Greenville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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