Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Prospect, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Prospect where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks.
