Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Toronto, OH.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Toronto where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce 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 harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
