Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Uniontown, OH.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Uniontown where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
