Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bradley, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Bradley where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
