Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Blakely, GA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Blakely where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
