Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Grandview, IN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Grandview where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
