Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Conetoe, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Conetoe where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
