Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bell Buckle, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bell Buckle where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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