Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - White, GA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near White where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
