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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near North Star where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering 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 resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
