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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction.

Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey.
