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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Campbell where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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