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

A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Minotola where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks.
