Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Quebeck, TN.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Quebeck where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
