Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - East Rochester, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near East Rochester where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
