Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Matthews, GA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Matthews where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
