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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Watson where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
