Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fort Davis, AL.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Fort Davis where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start 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 severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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