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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mauldin where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because 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. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
