Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Kyles Ford, TN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Kyles Ford where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
