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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Toxey where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which 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.
