Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Spring Garden, AL.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Spring Garden where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
