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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wellington where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
