Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Currie, NC.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Currie where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of 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 which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
