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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Okatie where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
