Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Davis, NC.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Davis where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
