Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lisbon, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lisbon where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
