Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Powder Springs, TN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Powder Springs where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because coming 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
