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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Euclid where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
