Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Little Hocking, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Little Hocking where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
