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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Pinopolis where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
