Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hayneville, AL.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hayneville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when 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, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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