Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lanoka Harbor, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Lanoka Harbor where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
