Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Garrison, UT.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Garrison where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay 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. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
