Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mc Comb, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Mc Comb where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much 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 such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
