Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tibbie, AL.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tibbie where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
