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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Greensboro where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, 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 which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
