Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bethel, DE.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bethel where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
