Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Grovertown, IN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grovertown where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
