Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tallulah Falls, GA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tallulah Falls where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
