Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sharps Chapel, TN.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sharps Chapel where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it 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 remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may 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 professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
