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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Lafayette where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
