Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cumming, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cumming where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
