Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Addison, AL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Addison where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
