Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wynnburg, TN.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wynnburg where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
