Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Margate City, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Margate City where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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