Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Ephraim, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mount Ephraim where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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