Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Boring, MD.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Boring where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay 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. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing 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 feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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