Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Celina, TN.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Celina where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
