Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Deshler, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Deshler where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
