Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Butler, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Butler where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
