Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Matawan, NJ.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Matawan where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug 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. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when 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, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
