Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - South Solon, OH.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near South Solon where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
