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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Vidalia where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, 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 feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
