Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ostrander, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ostrander where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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