Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tiltonsville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Tiltonsville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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