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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sylvania where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
