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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Marmora where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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