Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dresden, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dresden where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 are likened to a really bad flu and 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
