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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Bloomville 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 begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may 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 detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
