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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Leipsic where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
