Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Roebling, NJ.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Roebling where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
