Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Huntsville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Huntsville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And 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 similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
