Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Corbin City, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Corbin City where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
