Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fremont, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Fremont where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
