Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Woods Cross, UT.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Woods Cross where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
