Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ash, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ash where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
