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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Minster where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing 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 remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
