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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Guild where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
