Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Trenton, TN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Trenton where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
