Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - West Elkton, OH.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near West Elkton where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
