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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Midvale where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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