Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Parma, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Parma where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin 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 may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
