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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Silverstreet where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
