Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Rohrersville, MD.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Rohrersville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of 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 really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
