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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Midvale where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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 remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
