Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Monetta, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Monetta where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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