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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Millry where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
