Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Newry, SC.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Newry where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain 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 is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
