Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Rockmart, GA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Rockmart where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
