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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Killbuck where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
