Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Melmore, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Melmore where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
