Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Millersburg, OH.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Millersburg where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey.
