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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Solon where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
