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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Robersonville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
