Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Springboro, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Springboro where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
