Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kings Bay, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Kings Bay where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay 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 resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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