Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Daufuskie Island, SC.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Daufuskie Island where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
