Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Charleston, AR.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Charleston where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
