Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Town Creek, AL.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Town Creek where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
