Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ardmore, TN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ardmore where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
