Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Brunswick, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Brunswick where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of 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 really bad flu which 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
