Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Leeds Point, NJ.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Leeds Point where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 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 detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
