Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Junction City, OH.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency.

Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.
