Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Banks, AL.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Banks where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
