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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tillman where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
