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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Haddock where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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 start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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