Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Juliet, TN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mount Juliet where they ingest 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 maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
