Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lizella, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lizella where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
