Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Parma Heights, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Parma Heights where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
