Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hannibal, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hannibal where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
