Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Crescent, GA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Crescent where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
