Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Enville, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Enville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
