Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Monroe Township, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Monroe Township where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, 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 centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
