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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Gnadenhutten where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
