Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - West Milton, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near West Milton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
