Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Clayton, DE.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Clayton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
