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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mendon where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
