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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Nauvoo where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
