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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Jewell where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
