Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Dyer, TN.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Dyer where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
