Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Horse Shoe, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Horse Shoe where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing 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 really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
