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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Trenton where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing 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 fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
