Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dumont, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Dumont where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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