Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rockville, UT.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Rockville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because 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 remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
