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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Burgoon where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may 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 which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
