Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Washington Court House, OH.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Washington Court House where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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