Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Marston, NC.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Marston where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
