Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Delta, AL.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Delta where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
