Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - New Rumley, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near New Rumley where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey.
