Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Chester, NJ.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Chester where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
