Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Flat Rock, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Flat Rock where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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