Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Roselle, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Roselle where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
