Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Tabiona, UT.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tabiona where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
