Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Grover, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Grover where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
