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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Dearing where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
