Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lowell, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lowell where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
