Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Pleasant Hill, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Pleasant Hill where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
