Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Culberson, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Culberson where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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 stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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