Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Adelphia, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Adelphia where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. 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, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
