Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mullica Hill, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Mullica Hill where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
