Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Jacobsburg, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jacobsburg where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
