Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Roebuck, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Roebuck where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance 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 and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
