Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Eastanollee, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Eastanollee where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce 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 such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
