Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Calabash, NC.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Calabash where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
