Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mickleton, NJ.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Mickleton where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
