Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Modoc, SC.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Modoc where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
