Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - North Benton, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near North Benton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
