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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Kettering where they take it on a daily basis 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 coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
