What is Methadone?
Methadone is a prescription drug that is often used to treat acute pain. It also has applications in the treatment of opiate drugs, like heroin and codeine. Since it’s been used for such purposes, it has proven itself to be a highly valuable treatment solution – but that doesn’t mean it cannot end up being a problem. Methadone itself is an opioid, and an addictive substance. When people are given methadone as a substitute to help them eliminate another dependency issue, it’s sometimes possible that they’ll end up addicted to this instead. In those cases, a detox becomes necessary.
 
Expected Symptoms
If you are in a situation where you need a methadone detox, then you can expect a number of withdrawal symptoms during the process. In the first few days, you’re likely to experience nausea, fatigue, restlessness, insomnia, vomiting, and muscle aches and pains – and more is possible. However, once this part of the process is complete, the worst of the physical symptoms are done as well. Following that stage, you’re likely to feel cravings for the drug, low energy levels, anxiety, and possibly depression – but these will also subside over time.
 
Management Solutions
We are capable of offering up a number of different ways to help you manage your detox process, and the associated withdrawal symptoms that you’ll experience. Drug treatments are sometimes appropriate for methadone detoxes, but alternatives are also available in cases where it might not prove helpful. After the initial detox period has been completed, we’ll give you emotional and peer support programs, and an array of other therapeutic treatments.
 
Preventing Relapse
The danger with methadone dependency, as is so often the case, is the possibility of relapse. It’s likely that if you relapse, the damage to your body could prove to be fatal – and even if it isn’t, the health implications are substantial. We can offer you an array of support and therapy options to make sure that the chance of a relapse is minimal. We have a very strong record in this regard – almost all of the people that use our drug rehab center for methadone detox treatments never use the substance again.
