Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bausman, PA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bausman where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
