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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Henry where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which 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 that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
