Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Laconia, TN.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Laconia where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
