Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Spencerville, MD.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Spencerville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
