Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Waldo, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Waldo where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
