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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cable where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
