Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Green Camp, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Green Camp where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
