Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Street, MD.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Street where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
