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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Lynndyl where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
