Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Yanceyville, NC.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Yanceyville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can 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 accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
