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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Varnell where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
