Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - White House, TN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near White House where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
