Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Evansport, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Evansport where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
