Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Leland, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Leland where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
