Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Manassas, GA.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Manassas where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
