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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Frankewing where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
