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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Rembert where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
