Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Sidney, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sidney where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
