Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Primm Springs, TN.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Primm Springs where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
