Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gray Court, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Gray Court where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
