Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chancellor, AL.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Chancellor where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
