Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Holland, OH.

Methadone is a medication 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 Holland where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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