Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Grandy, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grandy where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
