Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kirkersville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Kirkersville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain 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, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
