Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Alledonia, OH.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Alledonia where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
