Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Yuma, TN.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Yuma where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, 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 feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
