Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Creola, AL.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Creola where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
