Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Randlett, UT.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Randlett where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
