Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Spraggs, PA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Spraggs where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. 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 withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
