Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bowling Green, OH.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bowling Green where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may 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 centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
