Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Twinsburg, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Twinsburg where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
