Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Beach City, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Beach City where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
