Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Brookville, OH.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Brookville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 severe flu which can 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
