Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hinckley, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Hinckley where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
