Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Moss, TN.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Moss where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
