Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Havelock, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Havelock where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering 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 like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
