Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Marion Station, MD.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Marion Station 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 maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
