Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Soddy Daisy, TN.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Soddy Daisy where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
