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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Windsor where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
