Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Kenilworth, UT.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Kenilworth where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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