Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - North Arlington, NJ.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near North Arlington where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that 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 harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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