Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lobelville, TN.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lobelville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
