Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Oradell, NJ.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Oradell where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
