Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Fairfield, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fairfield where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, 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 stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
