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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Neffs where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
