Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Fayetteville, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Fayetteville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
