Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Connellys Springs, NC.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Connellys Springs where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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 detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
