Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Upper Black Eddy, PA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Upper Black Eddy where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, 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 accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
