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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pfafftown 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 begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
