Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Port Washington, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Port Washington where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. 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, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
