Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Delaware, NJ.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Delaware where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
