Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Troy, NC.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Troy where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
