Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Brinkhaven, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Brinkhaven where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
