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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ravenna where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
