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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Ingleside where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about 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 painful 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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