Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Plymouth, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Plymouth where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming 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, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
