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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Marydel where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start 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, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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