Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Salemburg, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Salemburg where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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