Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Blackshear, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Blackshear where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
