Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Jefferson, GA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Jefferson where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin 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 really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
