Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kingston, UT.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of 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 Kingston where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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