Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bat Cave, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bat Cave where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
