Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ruby, SC.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ruby where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
