Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Nashville, MI.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Nashville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
