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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Polkton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
