Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Aurora, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Aurora where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, 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 quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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