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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Casstown where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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