Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Newark, NJ.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Newark where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
