Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shade, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Shade where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, 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 and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.

Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
