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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Green where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
