Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Foreman, AR.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Foreman where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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