Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Unicoi, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Unicoi where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
