Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Deep Run, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Deep Run where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes 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 harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
