Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rouseville, PA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Rouseville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, 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 facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
