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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Marysville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
