Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Stewart, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Stewart where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
