Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Monroe City, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Monroe City where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
