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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Broomall where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
