Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Munford, AL.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Munford where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
