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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hollywood where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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