Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elkton, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Elkton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it.
