Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Vaughnsville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Vaughnsville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of 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 which 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
