Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Glenford, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Glenford where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because 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 when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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