Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Langsville, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Langsville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks.
