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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Trenton where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
