Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pinnacle, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pinnacle where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering 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 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, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
