Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Talking Rock, GA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Talking Rock where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
