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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Carbondale where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
