Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Wallburg, NC.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Wallburg where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of 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 severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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