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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Marshallville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
