Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bay Village, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bay Village where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may 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 feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
