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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Faith where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks.
