Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Proctorville, OH.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Proctorville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
