Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kenilworth, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Kenilworth where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can 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 which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
