Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Madison, AL.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Madison where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
