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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Darien where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
