Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - North Bend, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near North Bend where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
