Methadone Withdrawal
Do you wish to seek Methadone withdrawal help and stop using Methadone and other opiates, but you are afraid of experiencing painful Methadone withdrawal symptoms, or issues with ongoing pain and cravings?
Has it seemed like the dosage of opiate meds that your loved one or you take consistently goes up, however all of the pain is present still? What if it was possible to abate the painful symptoms of opiate withdrawal and live life without pain?
The underlying sources for pain and addiction can be addressed much more effectively without the presence of opiates, since the body becomes eventually tolerant and dependent on these drugs.
Methadone opiate withdrawal symptoms occur after an individual has been using this medication on a regular basis (prescribed or not) and discontinues use or reduces their dosage. This drug is an opiate used primarily to treat heroin-dependence; regular use will almost inevitably cause a physical dependency to develop. Methadone is a long-acting drug; it has an active effect on the body for up to 36 hours. Once use is discontinued, opiate withdrawal symptoms will typically emerge around 24-36 hours later. However, Methadone withdrawal durations have the potential of lasting several weeks or several months even, as this drug can residually remain in the body for much longer than 36 hours. This is why it’s essential to have Methadone withdrawal treatment before you try to stop taking this drug.
Methadone cessation symptoms have been commonly reported to be more painful and uncomfortable than those of heroin withdrawal, with symptoms that can last much longer than those of heroin withdrawal. This is one of the most prevalent medications used to help opiate-addicted individuals to recover from addiction, and is sometimes prescribed for management of chronic pain. Unfortunately, for many individuals this can lead to then having to cope with the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Additionally, using this drug as a treatment to replace the use of heroin or other opiates can ultimately lead many individuals to trading one addiction for Methadone addiction.
Users of this drug are likely, at one point or another, to experience withdrawal; some common symptoms include: nutritional depletion, thoughts of suicide, shivering or trembling, chills, increased blood pressure, abdominal cramping, weakness, hypersensitivity, jitteriness, sweating, insomnia, pain, muscle aches, and general feelings of nervousness. Methadone withdrawal duration can take up to 4 times longer for an individual who abused heroin for a long period of time before taking methadone; as such individuals never really withdrew from heroin before starting opiate-replacement treatment. Some doctors, clinics and rehabs have prescribed epidemic levels of methadone, appearing not to consider the problems associated with long-term use.
Since Methadone cessation can be as difficult or worse than withdrawal symptoms of the drug it is being used to treat addiction for, patients often have a very difficult time ending their dependence to this drug and can easily develop Methadone addiction. Use of the drug itself and withdrawal-induced anxiety can damage stomach lining which causes stomach pain and irritability. One of the most important ways to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms is through nutrition and Methadone withdrawal help, as use of this drug can cause severe nutritional deficiencies, an individual withdrawing may be encouraged to eat foods such as yogurt that contain probiotics and glutathione (an antioxidant) which will help the withdrawal process.
It is strongly advised to seek medical Methadone withdrawal treatment and advice before attempting to withdraw from this opiate, whether you have a prescription to the drug or not. The best setting to complete this withdrawal is in a capable cessation or drug treatment center, such as our Sedon opiate cessation center. Our opiate Arizona cessation rehab can effectively help an individual to make it through Methadone cessation comfortably while simultaneously teaching the necessary skills to effectively overcome addiction and remain drug-free. The reason why an individual encounters withdrawal when stopping use of an opiate is because the drug produces a false source of natural pain-killer endorphins. This tricks the body into shutting down its natural production. So, when the opiate is withdrawn, no endorphins are there is filter sensations of pain, this can make a light touch, clothing on the skin or a shower feel excruciatingly painful.
This is also how the emotions are affected. Since no endorphins are present to inhibit emotional sensitivity, an individual in withdrawal experiences extreme emotional sensitivity. Alternative to Meds Center’s Sedona opiate cessation program works in collaboration with our participating doctors to help individuals reduce their dependence on opiates and lessen the severity of withdrawal. This is done with the use of Suboxone, a drug that significantly eases withdrawal, and administered from our doctor for a period of one or two weeks. Suboxone keeps the opiate receptor occupied, but doesn’t “drug” the individual. This by itself eases the withdrawal considerably. The individual will also receive nutrients designed to build endorphins, amino acids that replenish a low endorphin state, high protein foods, personal exercise training, and the most successful residents also eliminate sugar and processed food from their diet. Raising the body’s natural pain-killing endorphins not also effectively reduces withdrawal symptoms, it also offers long-term relief and substantially helps lower the chance for relapse.
Our opiate Arizona cessation center has worked with and helped a thousand individuals in a residential 24 hour environment. Every week, we have graduations in honor or former opiate users. Friends and family attend; they are in shock because we really identified solid answers for the participants problems, and that they have the newfound knowledge of how to sustain a life that will enhance their happiness and health.
