Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bloomingburg, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bloomingburg where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
