Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Pleasant Grove, AL.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Pleasant Grove where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
