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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Jenera where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
