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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tignall where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
