Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Stockdale, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Stockdale where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
